Yes they can. Dad spotted me having the hiccups twice as a kitten, both times after I got really riled up running around the apartment at breakneck speeds. Mommy says it was very similar to her having seen infants hiccup: we get this curious look on our faces, as if we're not really sure about what's going on.

i get hiccups too, after a bout of kitty krazies or eating too fast...mommy finds it particularly amusing if i try to meow while i'm hiccuping (sort of a protest, you know). says i sound like a little drunk kitten. it's harmless, fun for the human, just a bit annoying for the kitten...
